About The Position

Mayo Clinic is hiring four Principal Enterprise Architects to provide accountable architecture leadership across critical technology domains. This hybrid position must be located within 100 miles of a Mayo Clinic campus, with occasional on-site work based on business needs.

The role is the named architecture authority for an assigned major integrated business portfolio, enterprise technology platform, strategic transformation, or enterprise architecture discipline.
